take the lesson and run
(Dedicated to R.M.)

i've got no room in which to speak
and i know you've always known that
but my mistakes are still worthwhile
because they make me give advice
that i would never take

and you've got no business being cooked
in a place you're not sure you believe in
especially since you're living still
(though some days it's hard to tell with you)
but if you're going to live here, live here

and i know my metre's shot to hell
and the advice is hardly new
but you know the contents still apply
so take the lesson and run if you like
just so long as you listen
